When red, orange, and pink aren’t enough–roll out the lavender lips! Not a brand new trend, but more options are popping up making it more accessible. The soft, yet bold hue looks surprisingly great on most skin tones. Rock your lavender lip with anything from a smoky eye to bright shadows to a neutral face. This color isn’t for the shy so be sure you kick up your ‘tude to rock this look successfully.
Colors to try:
MAC Lipstick in Saint Germain
MAC Lipstick in I Like it Like That
MAC Lipstick in Up the Amp
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Katricia
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Vapid
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Hoochie
Illamasqua Lipstick in Liv
Illamasqua Lipstick in Underworld
Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Move
Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Fierce
Would you rock a lavender lip?

hmmmm – great post…lavender scares me…but I will try it…lately I’ve been stocking up on the seasons hot pinks, bubble gums, and lavender-ish shades from – surprise-Victoria Secret. Trying to combine trips and stay away from the Chanel and MAC counter. I’ve not been disappointed.

Love the lavender lips! I’ve always wanted to try it out but was too scared it wouldn’t look good on me. But I am tempted to try it out now that I’ve read this post. Thanks, Danielle!

This is one of those looks I think I love on OTHER people, lol. Great pics, but I don’t think I have the balls to do this.
